The False Protagonist and the True Demon King[Comprehensive]

The light rain fell, and the two stood under the eaves without saying a word. Although they were quiet, they were not embarrassed at all. It was like this hazy light rain that covered all their feelings with a fine veil, making them indistinct.

Fog began to form around, and the fog became thicker and thicker until no one could be seen except each other. Osamu Dazai exhaled, and the white air instantly floated into the air and merged with the fog.

Perhaps because of the weather, Dazai Osamu's mobile phone network connection was not smooth, and it stumbled a lot, and finally dropped the connection directly. Shen Xi stuffed the phone back into Dazai Osamu's coat pocket.

"Dazai, how long are we going to stay here?"

"At least we can't wait until it rains, and then the fog will disperse a little bit." Osamu Dazai said, "Are you hungry?"

Shen Xi shook his head, he took a sip of lemon tea, "Do you still want to drink?"

Turning his head to look at Shen Xi and the cup of lemon tea that was almost bottomed out in his hand, Osamu Dazai thought for a while, "It feels good, I don't really want to drink it, but it's okay if I drink it, ah, it's really a book about philosophy. question."

Shen Xi tilted her head, it's just lemon tea, should she go up to philosophy?

"In fact, there are other things I want to do than this, that is, the kind of things that are not easy to explain."

"You're not afraid now, I know what you're thinking?" Shen Xi squatted down, he stretched out his hand, feeling the coolness and itchiness of the drizzle on the palm of his hand.

Osamu Dazai squatted down with him, "Because it doesn't matter."

"Oh?" Shen Xi withdrew her hand, "What do you want to do?"

"Look at me."

Shen Xi turned his head, and immediately his lips felt hot, Osamu Dazai was quite close to him, he could even see himself in those kite-colored eyes.

How embarrassing.

Even if it was such a thing, the self in the reflection in his eyes still had that flat and indifferent look, completely unmoved, but Shen Xi could feel his own heartbeat. For the first time in so long, he felt so clearly that it was beating.

I'm still breathing, my heart is still beating, lips and teeth are close together, I can feel his breath and temperature, this is... the feeling of being alive.

The two who hadn't paid attention to their surroundings didn't notice that the white mist in front of them began to dissipate, and there was a click, like the sound of something falling to the ground.

Shen Xi tilted his head slightly, the first thing he saw was the colorful umbrella that fell on the ground, the umbrella was shaking on the ground, followed by a person who was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar.

Shu Sheyu stood in the rain as if he didn't react, the drizzle quickly wet his glasses.

"Uncle?" Shen Xi stood up.

"Wait a minute!" Shu Sheyu seemed to be awakened by Shen Xi's voice. He pushed his glasses with shock in his voice, "Let me digest it first, so you have this kind of relationship?!"

It turned out to be like this, and he said why this child had to stay in Nihong and refused to come back, but was kidnapped by a bad man...

Dazai Zhi was also at a loss at this time, he and Shen Xi were indeed in Italy, right? Why did they come back suddenly, they were still in China, and they were directly bumped into by someone who could be called an elder by Shen Xi.

Can he travel back in time and kill himself 10 minutes ago?

But compared to Dazai Osamu's embarrassment, Shen Xi didn't care at all, he looked at Shu Sheyu very calmly, there was nothing wrong with it.

Osamu Dazai sighed again, what he said was true, Shen Xi would not care about such a small matter being seen.

"Sorry, Mr. Shu, can we talk about it? About Shen Xi."

"No, you don't need to talk to me." Shu Sheyu directly refused, "I have no elder relationship with Shen Xi, and he is an adult, I have no right to stop what he wants to do."

Osamu Dazai was stunned for a moment, "Is that so?"

"Adults can already choose how to live their own lives. Everyone has an independent personality." Shu Sheyu looked at Dazai Zhi blankly, "But other than that, Mr. Dazai, did you marry in Huaguo?" I plan to help with the nationality issue."

Osamu Dazai: ...Huh?

"It's not a loss at all." Shu Sheyu quickly analyzed, "Hua Guo's nationality is the most difficult to obtain in the world. It is no less difficult than obtaining the highest level of award in a certain field. Mr. Dazai, think about it?"

"No, I have no intention of changing my nationality." Osamu Dazai refused in a low voice, "I still prefer Yokohama."

"That's it."

Shu Sheyu felt a little regretful, but he didn't give up yet, "It's fine to marry."

"There is no rule that you must change your nationality in a cross-border relationship... right?" Osamu Dazai smiled helplessly, "Mr. Shu is really sorry, we don't want to compromise because of this kind of thing."

"Well, it's your own wish." Shu Sheyu sighed, and he picked up the umbrella from the ground, "Let's go, go home first, it's always raining this autumn, it's really unbearably wet."

Osamu Dazai and Shen Xi glanced at each other, then followed, only then did they realize that their current location was the mountain they jumped off last time.

Going around, they actually came back here.

"I came here often after you disappeared last time, thinking that you might suddenly appear, but I didn't expect to wait." Shu Sheyu took off his glasses and wiped them. This is not the top of the mountain. See flat ground.

"Mr. Shu is worried."

Shu Sheyu sighed, "I'm not worried. Xiaoxi is a special child, and Mr. Dazai is too. I actually don't know much about pursuing death, but isn't it good to be alive?"

"So I was worried about this." Osamu Dazai smiled lightly, with a little helplessness in his voice.

Shen Xi, who had been silent all this time, looked at Shu Sheyu, and he opened his mouth casually after a while.

"Actually, I have thought of a way. I have an agreement with Dazai, and we will work hard to live together." Shen Xi walked in the rain, her long black hair dripping with water, "Although I think it is more important to die for love together than to live together." Meaning, but since Dazai thinks it's better to live together, let's live."

It's a posture of living for others.

Shu Sheyu shook his head and sighed.

However, since he was able to change for others, this really gave him a big surprise.

He used to think that Shen Xi had been like this all his life, with a strange personality and strong abilities, because of his own ability, he would not pay attention to other people's teachings at all. He even thought that Shen Xi's future would be to wander alone, and then one day, without People notice to leave.

How to teach a person who doesn't want to live to learn to live?

"Shen Xi, have you made a decision yet?"

"Yes, it can only be this person." Shen Xi replied softly: "After all, there is only one Dazai in this world."

"I see." Shu Sheyu said: "Since it's been decided, then go and talk to your parents."

Shen Xi and Shu Sheyu looked at each other, and finally he nodded slightly, "Well, I will go,"

Family members who haven't seen each other since I was five years old.

There is not much difference between the home and the last time I left, the living room is not very popular, and the bedroom that I lived in for a night has not had time to tidy up, because the door was closed tightly when I left, and the room was not particularly humid.

"It's so cold, Shen Xi." Osamu Dazai shook his wet coat, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Go." Shen Xi pushed him into the bathroom, "I'll get you clothes later."

Getting wet in the rain is not a big deal to Shen Xi, but in fact, in this cold autumn, it is easy to get sick after being soaked in the wet for so long. In Dazai's system, the possibility of getting sick is more than 50%.

Opening the closet, Shen Xi took out the clothes he was used to wearing from the closet. He was about the same height and figure as Osamu Dazai, so his clothes could be worn by Osamu Dazai.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of Osamu Dazai in the bathroom, Shen Xi opened the photo album on the table, which showed his parents.

To be honest, too much time has passed, even looking at the person in the photo, Shen Xi still feels strange, and he has no idea what kind of person his parents are.

The only thing he can remember is the lullaby his mother sang while he was sleeping.

That extremely gentle woman loves him very much. She cherishes her own flesh and blood more than herself.

When they left, Shen Xi was still a child, and vaguely heard the police say that his parents had an accident, which was a traffic accident, but Shen Xi didn't have time to investigate further, and there was no possibility of further investigation.

As sisters, the mother and aunt look very similar. When looking at these photos, Shen Xi sometimes feels that he is looking at his aunt. Compared with his mother, his aunt is quite vivid in his memory.

After all, five years old is different from 15 years old.

"Do you want to see me?" Shen Xi looked at the woman smiling brightly in the photo, "You guys will definitely feel sad when the child I'm looking forward to grows up to look like me."

"I'm a weirdo after all."

"No, Shen Xi is not a weirdo." Dazai Osamu came out of the bathroom, his black hair was still dripping with water.

Shen Xi looked at him, "Aren't you a weirdo?"

"If you are a weirdo, wouldn't I be a weirdo too, so, Shen Xi is not a weirdo, and I'm not a weirdo, so it's settled!" After finishing speaking, Osamu Dazai nodded, as if what he said was right, "Yes, that's right!"

Shen Xi looked at him calmly, "So Dazai said this to prevent himself from being a weirdo?"

"I didn't say that." Osamu Dazai wiped his drenched hair, "Because Shen Xi is a normal person to me who I can't let go of, just like you said, only special people To get my attention."

"And excellent people are generally strange."

Shen Xi suddenly realized, "Are you praising yourself for being outstanding?"

"You heard it!" Osamu Dazai exaggerated: "It's terrible, Shen Xi, you must have installed a monitor in my head, otherwise why can you hear the real intention of what I say!"

"That's right." Shen Xi replied perfunctorily, "So be careful, Dazai, I can read minds."

Osamu Dazai sighed, "Shen Xi, you have the ability to say interesting things without interest no matter what you say, it's really scary, really scary."

"Didn't you say the joke wasn't funny at all? At the bar."

Osamu Dazai: ...

"Okay, it's my fault." Osamu Dazai admitted his mistake straightforwardly, "Then what now? What are you thinking? Did Mr. Shu say to tell your parents?"

"Actually, it's okay." Shen Xi frowned slightly, and her voice paused, "I just feel...very unfamiliar."

"It's understandable, after all, you were only five years old when you left." Osamu Dazai rolled on the sofa and successfully rolled the wet water onto the sofa.

Shen Xi looked at him, "Dazai, you look so out of harmony."

"Where is the violation?" Osamu Dazai was not convinced, "Not at all!"

Osamu Dazai doesn't often wear white clothes. Shen Xi has known him for so long, and he only wore them in the Shibusawa Tatsuhiko incident and Tsunayoshi. He loves warm colors, as if those warm colors can hide his darkness .

When he was 18 years old, Osamu Dazai said that the white was dazzling, as if he was flaunting his own justice. At the age of 22, Osamu Dazai didn't feel much about it, but to be honest, it was indeed more dazzling after wearing it than other times.

White can hide many things, but also give many things.

At this time, Osamu Dazai should be the standard image of Prince Charming in the eyes of girls.

Ignoring that his wet hair was not dried by the hair dryer, Osamu Dazai lay on the sofa in Shen Xi's clothes with peace of mind and played with his mobile phone. The interface of the mobile phone was some software he had just downloaded.

"Well, it can be like this, but it can still be like this? Hmm, interesting and interesting." He made strange voices from time to time, as if he was studying some century-old problem.

"What are you looking at?"

"A lot of things, such as the news around here, everyone's habits, and I ordered takeaway, use your ID card, do you want coffee? Ah, no, the coffee is for me, and I have some fruit for you Milk."

Shen Xi leaned over to take a look, the difference in the text did not bother Dazai Osamu, even the machine translation on the Internet can roughly know what happened.

"Do you want me to raise you instead?"

Osamu Dazai laughed. He sat up from the sofa with a smile in his iris-colored eyes, "Okay, then let's make an agreement. I will support you in Neon, and you will support me in Huaguo, okay?"

"That's it." Shen Xi thought for a while, "Then do as you said, I have money in my account, so I should be able to support you."

Osamu Dazai and Shen Xi leaned together, he looked at the phone, and laughed after a while.

"Shen Xi, I found Oda Tsukuru."

"Huh?" Although Shen Xi knew that Oda Tsukuru was in China, he still didn't know where he was actually, "Is he on the news?"

"That's right, although it's not good news."

Osamu Dazai handed the mobile phone to Shen Xi, and he pointed to the text on it for Shen Xi to read.

"That's it. It's really unlucky. When Odasaku was holding the signing party, someone stepped on the floor and was crushed by the crowd. It's really funny."

Looking at the report above, Shen Xi blinked.

"Dazai, I think it is necessary to teach you Chinese. This report means that there are a lot of people attending Odasaku's signing event, and those are just adjectives."

Osamu Dazai and Shen Xi looked at each other, and the scene was silent.

"In other words, there are no broken floors and no crushed Odasaku?"

"Yes, no."

As if defeated in an instant, Dazai Osamu looked regretful, "It's too bad, it's too much, it didn't happen! I'm ready to laugh at Odasaku!"

"No! There must be something else! Find something that embarrasses Oda, start now!"

Without returning the mobile phone to Osamu Dazai, who is full of enthusiasm, Shen Xi turned off the machine translation that was wrong throughout the article, and read this report from beginning to end. After removing the exaggerated things, it can still be seen that Oda is making great progress in his writing career. achieved great success.

The pen name of this weirdo who stopped killing people in order to write novels is: Zuo.

"I've become someone who everyone calls a teacher." Dazai Osamu hugged the back of the sofa and sighed, "He's a good enough adult."

Shen Xi calculated his age, "Odasaku is 27 years old this year, I remember he was five years older than you."

"That's right."

Shen Xi nodded, "Do you want to see him? If it's what the report said, he should be frantically working on the manuscript at his home now."

"Want to make a surprise for Oda? I'm ready!" Osamu Dazai jumped off the sofa, "It will definitely make him jump up in fright, and make the following chapters full of suspense and horror!"

"His readers will cry."

"Anyway, it's fine if I'm not the one crying."

So Oda Sakunosuke, who was still working on the draft, was attacked by Dazai Osamu and Shen Xi who claimed to be friends, but in fact they were bad friends. Oda Sakunosuke lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa and blew out a smoke ring.

"It turns out that Odasaku's workshop is like this. It's the first time I've seen it. There are also manuscripts. It's so professional!"

"Odasaku still raises goldfish! But why is it a goldfish and not a cat?"

Shen Xi sat opposite Odasaku, completely ignoring Dazai Osamu's noise, "Do you smoke?"

Glancing at the cigarette in his hand, Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "Sometimes I will stay up late, and I will smoke one when I have no idea and are bored, and usually I won't move."

"That's it." Shen Xi nodded, "Does our coming make you feel bored?"

"No, that's not the problem." Oda Sakunosuke said flatly: "As far as this matter is concerned, a normal person would be shocked to open the bedroom door and suddenly find someone in your house."

Shen Xi imagined for a while, "Will you be shocked?"

"Yes." Oda Sakunosuke replied, "And he will call the police. This is the most correct way."

"Odasaku is still so serious."

Osamu Dazai slipped back after watching, lying on the sofa behind Shen Xi with a helpless look, "Such a serious answer is useless at a time like this, how do you write something so boring that everyone is interested?" Novel."

"Really?" Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while, "They read my novel because it's interesting?"

"if not?"

Oda Sakunosuke pondered for a few seconds, "I don't know, maybe it's because it's weird."

"Strange? A strange novel written by the strange Oda Tsukuru? Let me take a look!"

It's really strange to say that Oda Sakunosuke is a man who is quite silent and has no complaints. He lives like a middle-aged man every day, but the sharpness of the text can be felt just by looking at it.

These criticisms of life and sharp irony are the main theme in Oda's novels.

The so-called strange novels are really excellent, at least in the eyes of Osamu Dazai and Shen Xi.

Oda Sakunosuke stubbed out the cigarette butt, "However, I'm glad to see you all."

"When Dazai left, I thought about what would happen if he didn't come back, or if he came back alone, but fortunately, such a bad thing didn't happen."

Osamu Dazai bypassed the sofa and sat beside Shen Xi, "I told you that nothing will happen."

"Although it's a bit late, Shen Xi, thank you, thank you for saving the children and me."

Shen Xi tilted his head, "Who told you to be Dazai's friend, no matter what, I won't ignore it."

So it was indeed Dazai's fault, but...

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the harmonious atmosphere between Shen Xi and Dazai Osamu, and was happy for them.

These two people who belonged entirely to themselves and refused to open themselves to those around them finally found each other. Their emotions were intertwined, and they could feel their compatible souls just by looking at them.

That's great, it's a pretty perfect ending.

"Hey, Odasaku, I also want to appear in your novel, arrange a guest role for me!" Dazai Osamu cheerfully harassed Odasaku, "I want to be the best supporting role!"

"If Dazai wants to appear in the novel, his character will be hated." Shen Xi didn't save face for Dazai at all.

"How could it be!" Osamu Dazai was not convinced, "I must be a character loved by everyone, with a special charisma!"

Shen Xi looked at him suspiciously, "Where is the charm of your character, Dazai? Will you die in love with me?"

Osamu Dazai choked for a moment, "Shen Xi, you really have to refute me all the time, and I'm the one who has the final say?"

"Go on, I won't say anything." Shen Xi closed her mouth, "I want a mobile phone, and the last checkpoint has not passed yet."

"You really want to become an Internet addicted youth like this, Shen Xi." Osamu Dazai wailed, "Can't you talk to me more than mobile games?"

Shen Xi stared at him with a puzzled expression, "Obviously you told me not to talk to you just now."

"I just don't let you contradict me, not let you not talk to me."

"So that's what it means, then you should explain it more clearly." Shen Xi said with a blank expression, "And Dazai, when will I stop talking to you?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked at them, and suddenly clapped his hands, "I know what character to write."

Osamu Dazai and Shen Xi looked at each other, and then Qi Qi turned their eyes to Sakunosuke Oda.

"How about a story about a helpless young man who likes suicide and finds his own redemption? I can write a short story and give it to readers as a side story."

Osamu Dazai tilted his head, "Odasaku, is there any difference?"

"Yes." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "Because it is not one person who found salvation, but two people."

Does man's whole life exist only in search of salvation?

What is the so-called reason for survival?

Struggling in this world, you are the only one who can let me go on despite the pain.

"It's indeed a good story, but won't the youth who like to commit suicide be banned?" Osamu Dazai lay on the table and looked at him.

"No, because the ending is good." Shen Xi replied.

The meaning of all existence is... the place of redemption, and my redemption is you.
